Florida Ready to Pull Investments from Unilever over Ben and Jerry's Decision
(Tampa Bay Times) Ash Williams, chief investment officer of the State Board of Administration, said Tuesday he anticipates Unilever will be added to Florida's list of "Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel," prohibiting state investments and contracts with the companies. The state has $139 million in holdings in Unilever and its subsidiaries. Unilever was advised of the state's position in July, and a 90-day period will end Oct. 26 for Ben & Jerry's to reverse its decision to stop selling ice cream in the West Bank.
